Leduc has several facilities offering a range of recycling and waste management services for families and businesses.
The new, improved, free Recycle Coach app has a full list of household items and the best options for disposing of them.
Eco Station
Formerly known as the Recycling Depot, residents and businesses can take their recyclables, extra waste bags, modest amounts of organic waste, household hazardous waste and electronic waste to the Eco Station.
The Eco Station offers residents, schools, and businesses from Leduc, Leduc County, Calmar, Devon, and Beaumont a staffed drop-off location designed to divert a range of materials from the landfill. Materials are accepted free of charge for recycling, with the exception of general household waste, where the first bag is free, and additional bags are $2 each (exact change must be provided).
We welcome small loads of materials for recycling and safe disposal. Due to the size of the facility, the size of each load may be limited to material that fits in the trunk of a car or the back of a pickup truck. Large loads, construction or renovation waste and large items (furniture and appliances) can be taken to the Leduc and District Waste Management Facility for disposal.
Yard waste can be taken to the Yard Waste Transfer Station for disposal. Free compost is available from May to September, or while supplies last (maximum of four 5-gallon pails of compost per household per week.)
Scavenging is not permitted. No person may take materials left for collection.

- Please place diseased branches in the separate area shown on the map at the entrance gate.
Bring all diseased wood (like branches with black knot fungus) and noxious weeds to the diseased wood pile. Do not put diseased wood or noxious weeds in the green bin. Instead, transport the wood and weeds in a plastic bag to avoid spreading noxious weeds and arbour diseases to neighbouring yards and green spaces. The pile is just around the corner from the yard waste transfer station. Directions are posted at the entrance.
